Chapter 5
He waited until she was asleep before he went in the bathroom to take a shower. His plane was scheduled to leave at 9:00 the 다음 morning and it was already 2:00 am. He removed the rest of his clothes in the bathroom and took a long cool shower. As he came back into the bedroom dressed he noticed that 본즈 was no longer in 침대 but sitting in a chair looking out into the night. She had put on a 목욕 가운 and was now covered.
“Bones what’s wrong?”
She looked over at Booth. He could see that she was upset.
“Booth, about what happened”
“Bones, 당신 are a beautiful woman but 당신 and I have something special. We are partners and partners take care of each other.”
“Booth you’re right as always. It is so nice to have someone 당신 can trust and who is always there for you.” As she said this, she had left the chair and came over to Booth. She put her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulders as she has done numerous times in the past. He could smell the fresh scent of her hair as he rested his head against hers. She turned her face to look at him their lips were almost touching. He wanted to 키스 her and take her, but he did not want to rush her because she does not like to be rushed. He was looking at her face when she said. “Booth you’re 더 많이 than a partner to me. When 당신 were in that coma I thought my world had stopped, I did not know what to do to bring 당신 back. I felt alone without you. I have been alone since I was fifteen and I don’t ever want to feel like that again.”
“Bones I promise never to leave you. I will do anything for 당신 even kill, 당신 know that.”
“Booth, I know that, but I feel so empty inside like something is missing. I want to feel what other people feel when they 사랑 someone and they are loved 의해 someone.”
Booth looked at her and could not restrain himself any longer because she had to know that she is loved even if she does not 사랑 him. “Bones, 당신 are smart, talented and beautiful and I have to tell 당신 truthfully that I am hopelessly in 사랑 with you.”
“Booth, does being in 사랑 make 당신 feel light headed and giddy? Do 당신 feel that any moment apart is an eternity? When the person 당신 사랑 enters a room does your 심장 feel like it has skipped a beat?”
“Bones 당신 don’t analyze 사랑 당신 just feel it.”
“Booth, that’s how I feel about you.”
“So 당신 사랑 me.”
“Yes, Booth, if loving someone means that your whole world is that person.” When she said this, his lips touched hers in a soft and lingering kiss. He could feel her body moving against his and his desire increasing for her.
“Bones are 당신 sure as I don’t want us to rush into this.”
“Booth I am never surer about anything and I think we have waited long enough.”
He then kissed her 더 많이 firmly until her lips parted to accept his tongue. As his lips and tongue were exploring hers, she had moved her hands to undo his 벨트 and unzip his fly. He had moved his hands to her shoulders and was removing the 목욕 가운 and letting it slip to the floor. She had now moved her exploring hands to the back of his waist and was pushing his trousers down over his buttocks. As his pants fell to the floor, he stepped out of them; he lifted her up and carried her to the bed. As he laid her down, his hands moved along her waist to her panties where his hands moved inside to increase her arousal. She in turn had now removed his 셔츠 and shorts. Her mouth was exploring his bare chest while her hands moved to bring him to full peak. 의해 now both of them were fully naked and their bodies were a gleam of perspiration. At this point there was no going back, as he penetrated deep inside 본즈 emitted a low moan. Within moments they were in synchronization of movement ultimately to arrive at the crescendo together.
As they lay together exhausted, 본즈 whispered. “Booth”
“Yes, Bones.”
“I was completely irrational.”
“What do 당신 mean?” He sat up and turned to look at her thinking she is now regretting this and not really in 사랑 with him.
“I was afraid to admit that I loved 당신 because I did not know 당신 loved me, but I should have told 당신 anyway.” She then reached up and pulled his face to hers and kissed him in a way that let him know she loved him in no uncertain terms.
It did not take long before they were both intertwined with each other. At 6:00 am the phone rang to give them a wake up call but as they had never gone to sleep it was 더 많이 of a reminder that they both needed to be someplace else, but that did not stop them from holding on to each other for another ten minutes.
“Booth 당신 need to get to the airport and I need to get ready for the 텔레비전 interview.”
“Bones, do 당신 want me to stay and go to the interview with you?”
“No Booth that’s OK. I’ll see 당신 tonight, my flight is supposed to be in DC at 5:00 pm and I should get 집 의해 six.”
“I’ll pick up some Thai 음식 and be there 의해 seven.”
“Booth, don’t be late for your flight and I’ll see 당신 tonight.” She watched him as he got dressed and just before he left he kissed her goodbye. She then went into the bathroom and got ready for her interview.
Later on the flight back to DC she was thinking how nice it would be to see Booth tonight. She got 집 a little after six and quickly showered again and changed into something 더 많이 casual.
Booth arrived a few 분 before seven with the 음식 as promised. She got two beers out of the refrigerator and they quietly ate dinner. After 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 Booth asked how her interview went because he remembered her first interviews were not that great.
“Booth it was very good, I even made the audience laugh. Why I don’t know. But she did ask some odd questions.”
“Like what?”
“She asked something about a boy 또는 a girl, which I did not understand.”
“When is the interview scheduled to be shown?”
“According to them, it will be aired in ten weeks just before my book is released. They taped it in advance because I happened to be in Chicago this weekend.”
“Well 본즈 it’s getting late and 당신 must be tired.”
“You’re right Booth; it has been a long weekend. We need to get some sleep; we can clean up the 부엌, 주방 in the morning.”
Booth looked at her for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant as she walked to the bedroom.
“Booth aren’t 당신 coming to bed?”
“Yes Bones” As he put the dishes in the sink. He then fully understood that he was staying the night.
Over the weeks they would sleep always together even when Booth had Parker. Parker was glad that 본즈 was his daddy’s girlfriend because now he has his own room at her apartment and a pool. If the one had to work late, the other would wait up. Eventually they each had half their clothes in each others apartment.
About the fifth week, Angela asked Brennan if there was something going on with her.
Brennan asked. “Why?”
“You look positively radiant. Are 당신 seeing someone?”
Brennan could not lie to her best friend, so she said. “Yes.”
“Brennan what about Booth, does he know.”
“Yes he does.”
“I always thought the two of 당신 would get together. Do 당신 know if he is seeing anyone?”
“He is seeing someone.”
”Oh, is it serious for you?”
“Yes I think it is.”
Before Angela could ask any 더 많이 questions, Brennan went to her office. Angela went to go tell Cam.
“Cam, Brennan is seeing someone and so is Booth. Do 당신 know anything about it?”
“No Angela this is the first I heard, I thought Booth was in 사랑 with Dr. Brennan and now he is seeing someone and she’s OK with it?”
Angela just shrugged her shoulders and left the room.
Cam knew that Booth is usually very discreet about whom he is seeing so there is no point in asking him but if Dr. Brennan is OK with it she is not going to poke her nose around.
Later that night as 본즈 and Booth were lying in bed. She told him about what Angela asked and what she said.
“Bones, do 당신 think she suspects?”
“I don’t think so; she looked disappointed for some reason.”
“Never mind, we just have to be careful. We don’t want Sweets to find out. If Angela and Cam find out, they can keep a secret, but we don’t want them to say anything and someone over hears.”
“You’re right.” 본즈 then turned out her light and Booth wrapped his arms around her. As they settled into their 가장 좋아하는 sleeping positions, they quickly fell asleep.
Two days later there was a decaying corpse found near the Washington Monument and Brennan and Cam went to examine it. As they arrived at the scene, each of them went to exam the body. As Cam was pulling some of the clothes away to get a better look at the flesh left on the skin, Brennan was overcome 의해 the smell. It took everything in her power not to throw up. Cam noticed Brennan’s discomfort and asked if she was alright.
“Sorry, it is just the smell that got to me.” I’ll be fine after the flesh is removed.
Cam thought it odd because Dr. Brennan was never bothered 의해 the smells before. Maybe she is coming down with the flu.
The 다음 morning after Booth had left for work. 본즈 was sick to her stomach and very light headed. When she finally got in the office, she needed to throw up again. Cam came in to check on her and asked whether she had the flu and needed to go home.
“No Cam, it’s alright. I’m just a little nauseated. It usually passes 의해 noon.”
“How long has this been going on?”
“Oh, just for the last few days.”
Cam made note to watch her for the 다음 couple of days.
Brennan managed to avoid answering anymore 질문 about her boyfriend for the 다음 couple of weeks. Both she and Booth were keeping their relationship quiet.
They were both having coffee and Booth was having his usual slice of pie when Sweets joined them at their 표, 테이블 to discuss some aspect of their recent case.
As they were talking, Brennan reached over and took a bite of Booth’s pie. Sweets saw this but said nothing until she took a 초 bite.
“I see Booth has finally convinced 당신 to eat pie, Dr. Brennan.”
“No it is just that it that I wanted to try a bite to see how it tasted.” She answered as she took another bite.
“See Bones, I told 당신 you’d like it.”
Booth ordered another slice of pie while he and Sweets discussed his 프로필 on the latest case. As soon as the pie arrived, 본즈 devoured the whole slice of pie.
Booth looked at her in amazement and smiled. “Bones do 당신 want another slice?”
본즈 could not answer at first because her mouth was full of pie but she did shake her head yes.
Sweets was smiling as she consumed the third slice. He then asked her about her new book.
“Dr. Brennan isn’t your new book coming out 다음 week and isn’t your interview with Oprah on this week?”
“Yes my book is out 다음 week but I don’t know the exact 날짜 they will show the interview.” She answered.
Sweets then excused himself as he had something to discuss with Cam. Cam had asked him to come to her office because she had something to talk to him about.
“What is it that 당신 wanted?” Sweets said as he entered the office.
“Oh Dr. Sweets, have 당신 noticed anything strained between Booth and Dr. Brennan?”
“No, they seem to be their usual selves. In fact today Booth finally got Dr. Brennan to eat pie. Why do 당신 ask?”
“Well, Angela found out that Dr. Brennan is seeing someone and Booth knows about it. I am just concerned about their working relationship. 당신 said that Dr. Brennan ate pie? Was it just a bite?”
“No, she ate three slices.”
“That is not like her.” Cam said as she made another mental note. She called Angela into her office as soon as Sweets left.
“Angela I think there is something wrong with Dr. Brennan.”
“Why do 당신 think that?”
“Well she has been vomiting from the smell of a dead body which is not like her and now Sweets is telling me she has eaten three slices of pie.”
“Brennan does not like pie. Another thing, have 당신 noticed she seems to have a glow lately?”
“Angela, I am going to ask for some specimens because of some exam that needs to be done and I want 당신 to help me with this.”
“What do 당신 want me to do?”
“When I ask Dr. Brennan for hers 당신 will tell her that 당신 have already given me yours so that she does not suspect anything.”
The 다음 morning, Cam approached Dr. Brennan and said she needed some samples for a test. Dr. Brennan started to ask about the test when Angela walked in and let her know she had already done hers. She then gave the samples to Cam with no further concern.
As Cam and Angela left the room, Angela asked “How long will this test take?”
“I should have the results 의해 Monday.”
Friday night Sweets was sitting with 데이지 who had been taping Oprah all week looking for Dr. Brennan’s interview. They had finally reached the last show of the week when they saw that this was where her interview was shown. They sat there and watched and after the interview, Sweets quickly called Cam and asked her had she seen Dr. Brennan’s interview. Cam said she had missed it.
“Well can we meet at the Jeffersonian tomorrow because there is going to be some repercussions about it and I think 당신 should be prepared.”
The 다음 morning Sweets was in Cam’s office showing her the tape. Cam sat there watching and after it was over she looked at Sweets. She asked him.
“Did I just hear right. Did she say she is having a baby?”
데이지 who was with Sweets chimed in saying in her squeal little voice. “Don’t 당신 think that’s wonderful?”
Cam just looked at her. She then picked up the phone to call Angela and asked her to come in to see this tape.
Angela showed up with Hodgins and they both sat there and looked at the tape. Angela just had her mouth open and Hodgins had a grin on his face.
Cam looked at everyone in the room and asked what they all thought.
Hodgins was the first to answer when he said. “I think we are all going to be aunts and uncles.”
Angela gave him a look and said. “You all know how Brennan talks she may not have meant she is really pregnant but is only planning on having a kid someday.”
Cam responded. “What about the other comment?”
Sweets finally said. “What we need is both Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth to see this tape and get an explanation. I suggest that I call them and ask them both to come over here tomorrow so that we can be prepared for any problems that may come up.”
Everyone agreed and as they all left the office, Angela hung back to ask Cam.
“Are 당신 testing to see if she is pregnant?”
“Yes because if she is then she will have to let Booth know and that could put 더 많이 of a strain on their working relationship.”
That night Sweets called Booth and asked him to come into the office because he needed to alert him about a certain matter. He then called Dr. Brennan and asked her as well. What Sweets did not know is that they were both in Booth’s apartment relaxing after a long week. They looked at each other and discussed what could Sweets be concerned about.
“Booth 당신 don’t think he knows about us, do you?”
“Bones, I don’t care if he does because I will always be with 당신 no matter what happens.”
“Booth, have I told 당신 I 사랑 당신 today.” She said as she put her arms around his neck and kissed him seductively.
He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up while they were still 키싱 and carried her to the bedroom.
The 다음 morning they arrived at the Jeffersonian and went to Cam’s office where Sweets had asked them to meet him. Cam and Sweets were already there.
Shortly after they arrived, Angela and Hodgins joined the group.
Cam was the one who asked first. “Dr. Brennan have 당신 seen your interview on Oprah?”
“No, I did not know when they were going to show it. It was supposed to have been this week sometime.”
“Well there were some statements made and some 답변 that were a little unusual.” Sweets stated.
“Like what? I thought I answered the 질문 accurately, but it has been over ten weeks since the interview.” 본즈 responded.
“I think the best thing is to show the interview so Dr. Brennan can hear the entire interview and what was shown on television.” Cam said.
They all took a 좌석 around the screen to view the interview. 본즈 sat on the sofa 다음 to Booth with everyone else either sitting on a chair 또는 just standing as the show played.”
They watched as the show opened and Oprah came out to say.
“My 다음 guest is the leading forensic anthropologist in the country and a famous mystery writer. She has been involved in solving many unusual murder cases over the years along with her husband Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI, who she refers to as her partner. Please welcome Dr. Temperance Brennan.”
Applause as Brennan walks on stage and sits down 다음 to Oprah, who begins the interview.
“I understand Dr. Brennan that 당신 helped solve a fifteen 년 old murder in two days while visiting for your class reunion.”
“Yes I had come here to visit with one of my teachers and with the help of my partner, we figured out who the killer was.”
“Your partner being Agent Booth was here with 당신 at your reunion?”
“Yes.” Long pause.
“You also have a new book coming out 다음 week. This book was very intriguing and suspenseful. I have given a copy to every person in the audience today.” Applause
“I recommend everyone should go out a get a copy who likes a good murder mystery. Tell me Dr. Brennan do 당신 have anything in the works right now.”
“I usually try to write only one book at a time.” There was another long pause before the 다음 question.
“I recall one of your first interviews where 당신 had said that 당신 were never going to have any children, has that changed?”
“Yes I am going to have a baby.”
Applause
“Does your partner know?”
“Of course, he was there at conception.”
Laughter comes from the audience.
“Is it a boy 또는 a girl?”
“Yes.”
“Now, we know 당신 why you’re a great mystery writer. Thank 당신 very much for coming today and we need to break for a commercial.” After the commercial break Oprah said.
“I want to thank Dr. Brennan for letting us in on her 다음 project, with her partner. She left us with a mystery to solve and I believe we should all ask the FBI to find out if it is a boy 또는 a girl. What do 당신 think audience?”
Applause
Everyone looked at Brennan except Booth who just leaning back on the 침상, 소파 with his head back looking at the ceiling. He knew he should never leave 본즈 alone for an interview. It is the way she 답변 질문 directly that people get the wrong interpretations.
“What about the statement she made in the beginning that Booth is your husband?” Sweets asked. .
“It may have been because Booth and she were undercover as husband and wife at the reunion to catch a killer that is why Oprah got that idea.” Hodgins said.
“Then why did 당신 not correct her when 당신 came on stage?” Cam asked.
Brennan explained that she was just coming out of the waiting room to come on stage and did not hear the full introduction; she only heard her name being announced as she walked on stage.
“All right we can explain that but what about what 당신 said about going to have a baby?” Cam questioned.
“You all know that I have decided to have a baby someday. I was just saying that I am going future tense not actually having one. What was wrong with that?”
Booth explained to Bones. “It sounded to most people as if 당신 were already having a baby and not just planning one in the future.”
“Oh.” Brennan uttered.
Angela asked. “What about the conception statement?”
Everyone was waiting for this answer even Booth.
“Sweets 당신 remember I conceived the idea of a baby in your office and Booth was there. I don’t see what the problem is.”
Booth again explains to Bones. The audience thought she meant the other definition of conception.
“Is that why she asked me if it was a boy 또는 a girl?”
“Yes, Bones.” Booth answered.
“Is that why 당신 said yes to that question?” Angela asked.
“A baby can only be a boy 또는 a girl.” Brennan responded.
“Did 당신 get to hear what was said after the commercial break? Because what if someone actually asks the FBI to find out if it is a boy 또는 a girl.” Hodgins said.
Brennan let them all know that while they cut the taping for the commercial break, Brennan had left the studio to catch her plane back to DC and did not hear what Oprah had said to the audience after the break.
“So 당신 are not pregnant, Sweetie.” Angela sighed.
“Angela there is no way I could have been pregnant when I did that interview. 당신 know that I have not had sex in quite some time before the reunion.” Brennan said in a matter of fact way.
“Then 당신 have had sex since then.” Angela said looking at her closely.
“Well yes.”
“When was the last time 당신 had sex?” Angela asked.
Booth interrupted 의해 saying. “I don’t think we need to know the answer.”
“That’s all right Booth. I had very satisfying sex this morning, if 당신 need to know.” 본즈 answered
Booth just rolled his head and thought we don’t need to go into details here.
Sweets saw Booth roll his head and asked. “Does it bother 당신 that Dr. Brennan is having sex with someone?”
“No, not at all I’m happy she enjoyed it this morning.” Booth answered with a sly smile.
“I enjoyed it last night too Booth.” 본즈 added with a grin.
Cam noticed it first and she looked at Angela to see if she saw it too. Angela nodded at Cam and nudged Hodgins. Hodgins looked at Angela to see why she poked him and when Angela tilted her head toward Booth and Brennan he got the message.
“Well as long as there are no problems between 당신 two. We all know that there was some confusion about the 질문 and 답변 that can be easily explained. So we’ll just leave it alone for now.” Sweets, had turned to leave the room and had missed all of the looks.
As Booth and Brennan got ready to leave the room, Cam said. “Hold it 당신 two; 당신 are not getting away that easily.”
“What is it Cam?” Booth asked.
“You know what it is, big guy.”
“Come on Sweetie, we figured it out. 당신 are not going out with anyone other than Booth. And Booth 당신 don’t have any other girlfriend other than Brennan. Admit it. Our lips are sealed.”
Booth and 본즈 looked at each other before they answered together. “You’re right, but don’t let Sweets know.”
“When did 당신 finally realize that Booth was the one for you, Sweetie?”
“Angela it was on the last night of the reunion when he stayed to help me face those women.”
Hodgins gave Booth a slap on his back and said. “Congratulations, your secret is 안전한, 안전 with me.”
“Dr. Brennan I have to confess that I did think 당신 were pregnant and that is why I needed the specimen. I hope 당신 understand.” Cam said.
“Sweetie I also thought so too. Especially when it looked like 당신 had morning sickness and weird cravings for pie.” Angela added.
Brennan asked. “I’m sure the test showed negative. I do understand. 당신 did it because 당신 had concerns.”
“I haven’t looked at the results yet, they are on my desk.” Cam answered as she walked to her desk.
Cam looked at the test results; she showed it to Angela and Hodgins. Hodgins could not hold back when he uttered. “Agent Booth I don’t think your secret will be 안전한, 안전 for long.”
Brennan quickly went to the 책상, 데스크 to look at the results and said. “This can’t be right.”
“Bones what does it show?”
“Booth it shows that I am knocked over.”
“Bones, that is knocked up and how did this happen?”
Everyone looked at Booth and did not say anything until Hodgins quipped. “Do I need to explain the birds and the bees to you?”
Angela was the first to ask the all important question. “Sweetie, the test could be wrong. When did 당신 have your last cycle?”
Brennan thought for a moment and answered. “I remember exactly. It was two weeks before the class reunion.”
“That was over twelve weeks ago. I think 당신 are a little late and the test is a lot correct.” Cam added.
She went on to say. “What we need now is a way to keep this quiet until the right time.”
Booth meanwhile had pulled Brennan close to him and was telling her how beautiful she looked and that she is going to make a great mother.
“Dr. Brennan I will get the vitamins 당신 should be taking, Angela will keep an eye out for 당신 because pretty soon, 당신 will get hormonal as your body changes. Hodgins 당신 will keep an ear out if anyone asks about her.” Cam said to them.
“What do 당신 want me to do, Cam?” Booth asked.
“You’ve done enough already.” She retorted, but then she recanted and said. “Watch her in the field don’t let her over do it especially for the 다음 couple of months.”
“Cam, do 당신 think anything will result from that interview.” 본즈 asked.
“Let’s hope not.” Cam answered.
A few days later, Booth was watching 본즈 in the 샤워 when he noticed that she no longer had a flat stomach but she now had a little bump. He could not help himself from putting his hand over it and giving her a gentle hug.
It was a little over three weeks later, when Booth was summoned to the conference room 의해 Director Jenkins, the head of the FBI. In addition there was Caroline, the FBI lawyer, Sweets, Cam, Dr. Banbridge, head of the Jeffersonian, and Bones.
Director Jenkins started the meeting off with 의해 saying. “It has come to the attention of this department that Agent Booth and his partner Dr. Brennan have been secretly married and are now expecting a child. It is the policy of this agency that partners cannot be married to each other. Agent Booth what do 당신 have to say?”
“Dr. Brennan and I are not married.” Booth answered.
“It was announced on Oprah.” Director Jenkins shot back.
“It was incorrect information.” Sweets interjected and he then explained the misconception.
“Well if they are not really married perhaps someone could explain why we have received over thirty copies of marriage licenses showing their marriage. The agency has received the copies from small little towns all over New England and one was from Las Vegas, Nevada.” Director Jenkins stated.
“It sounds like these licenses are from people who want to take credit for the marriage and are all phony.” Caroline offered.
“I don’t believe one has to be married to prove one’s commitment.” 본즈 added.
“What about the other questions?” Director Jenkins asked.
Sweets went on to explain about how Dr. Brennan answered the other 질문 and how the 답변 were misunderstood.
“Do 당신 two know how many emails and phone calls this agency has received in the past three weeks asking if it is a boy 또는 a girl? In addition, the mail department has been flooded with letters and baby gifts.
Dr. Banbridge and I have decided that we are going to 스플릿, 분할 up your partnership. Dr. Brennan 당신 will be assigned a new partner and Agent Booth 당신 will work alone for now.” Director Jenkins said.
“I will not work with any other FBI agent. I will only work with Booth.” 본즈 said emphatically.
“Dr. Brennan, as head of the Jeffersonian, it is up to me when 당신 are assigned to the FBI and Director Jenkins will decide who 당신 will be assigned to. 당신 have no choice in the matter.” Dr. Banbridge insisted.
“Then I will no longer work for the Jeffersonian. It is stated in my contract that if and when I decide I can terminate my association with the Jeffersonian. As 당신 are aware I am far greater contribution to the prestige of the institution than 당신 are.”
“Dr. Brennan are 당신 threatening to quit?” Dr. Banbridge uttered
“No I am stating a fact.”
At that moment a clerk entered the room and informed Director Jenkins that he needed to see the latest copy of People magazine. He handed him a copy and placed additional copies on the 표, 테이블 for the others to look at.
On the cover there was a mention of couples who work together for the public benefit with the names of Bill and Melinda Gates, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth listed. Inside the 기사 showed how each of the couples was benefiting the public. Bill and Melinda Gates with their foundation for scholarships, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for their world causes and how Dr Brennan with her husband Agent Seeley Booth work together is solving unusual and bizarre murders not only in DC but around the country and abroad. The 기사 goes on to show their pictures at a crime scene. It is also mentioned that it is admirable that the FBI allows them to work together as the unique team that they are.
Director Jenkins was the first to 코멘트 on the new problem. “Agent Booth whether the two of 당신 are married 또는 not, it is the public opinion that 당신 are, the problem is that agents who are partners are not allowed to be married to each other and this could be a potential problem in the bureau.”
“Hold it a minute, the regulation is that only agents working for the FBI cannot be married partners but Dr. Brennan officially works for the Jeffersonian and is only a consultant and not an agent. So we have a loophole 의해 which these two can continue to work together married 또는 not.” Caroline interceded.
“Point taken, so that means Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth can still work together and we can try to forget this mess.” Dr. Banbridge said with a note of relief in his voice.
At that moment, 본즈 got out of her chair and removed her smock which had been covering the baby bump.
“Dr. Brennan, is that….are you…?” Sweets stammered. Caroline, Dr Banbridge and Director Jenkins just looked. Cam had a little grin.
“If 당신 are asking if I have a roll in the stove then the answer is yes.”
Bones, it is a bun in the oven.” Booth corrected.
“Dr. Brennan so now 당신 are pregnant but not when 당신 were interviewed is that correct but 당신 were pregnant when the interviewed aired?” Director Jenkins inquired.
“Yes.” 본즈 answered.
“So now the bureau is back to addressing the mystery of whether it’s a boy 또는 a girl.” Director Jenkins quipped.
“I have a question. Dr. Brennan we need to have the name of your baby’s father because everyone is going to presume that it is Agent Booth.” Sweets asked.
“Sweets I am the father and there is no 질문 about it.” Booth proclaimed.
“Back to the answer if it is a boy 또는 a girl.” Director Jenkins reiterated.
Cam explained. “It is too early to tell yet. The best answer right now is the one that Dr. Brennan gave in the interview which is yes to all those emails.”
“Well then when is the baby due?” Dr. Banbridge asked.
“I am due in five 더 많이 months and then we will know if it is a girl 또는 a boy.” Brennan announced.
Over the 다음 three months, Brennan was enjoying the thought of motherhood. She and Booth worked on preparing the nursery and they finally settled into just one apartment.
Brennan was having her seven 월 exam when her doctor asked about doing an ultrasound. The doctor did not want to alarm Dr. Brennan but there was something funny about the baby’s heartbeat.
Booth was with 본즈 as the doctor was doing the ultrasound exam. The doctor asked about if they wanted to know if it is a boy 또는 a girl as she started the exam. As the doctor continued to view the screen, both Booth and 본즈 were anxious for the results. Finally the doctor turned to them and said. “Well we can’t tell the sex yet, because of the position of the babies.”
Booth was the first to react. “Babies, 당신 mean there is 더 많이 than one?”
“Yes, it looks like twins.”
본즈 finally inquired. “Do they look all right?”
“The 아기 are both fine.” The doctor responded.
Over the 다음 two months, as 본즈 was getting closer to her due 날짜 everyone was keeping an eye open for the first signs of labor. Even at the FBI there was a betting pool going on as to when and whether it is two boys, two girls 또는 one of each.
As luck would have it, Brennan and Booth were interrogating a suspect when the first pain struck. 본즈 had grabbed Booth’s arm and was trying get through with the questioning but Booth would have none of that. He was 더 많이 concerned about the woman he loved and his unborn 아기 then the person in the room. He quickly took her out of the room, sat her on a chair in the hall until the contraction passed. He quickly handed the suspects file to Charlie, another agent, and said he needed to take Dr. Brennan to the hospital. As Booth left the building with Bones, Charlie let the man running the betting pool know and he also called Cam at the Jeffersonian.
Throughout the afternoon and night while 본즈 was in labor, Booth never leaves her side. Early the 다음 morning 본즈 was delivered two healthy babies. She is taken to her room where she falls asleep exhausted. Booth finally has a chance to go 집 and change quickly. He wants to be back at the hospital when 본즈 wakes up.
Booth was sitting in the hospital room watching 본즈 sleep when the nurse brings in the babies. The nurse gently wakes up Brennan and hands her the first baby. She then hands the 초 one to Booth. At that moment, Cam, Angela, Hodgins and Sweets enter the room. They ask the most important 질문 of all. What are their names? Booth who is looking at the tiny little person in his arms looks up at Brennan and says. “Her name is Christine Brennan Booth after Bones’ mother.” And Brennan looking at Booth says “His name is going to be Henry Joseph Booth and Booth will call him Hank after his grandfather. To me he is going to be my little Angel.
He waited until she was asleep before he went in the bathroom to take a shower. His plane was scheduled to leave at 9:00 the 다음 morning and it was already 2:00 am. He removed the rest of his clothes in the bathroom and took a long cool shower. As he came back into the bedroom dressed he noticed that 본즈 was no longer in 침대 but sitting in a chair looking out into the night. She had put on a 목욕 가운 and was now covered.
“Bones what’s wrong?”
She looked over at Booth. He could see that she was upset.
“Booth, about what happened”
“Bones, 당신 are a beautiful woman but 당신 and I have something special. We are partners and partners take care of each other.”
“Booth you’re right as always. It is so nice to have someone 당신 can trust and who is always there for you.” As she said this, she had left the chair and came over to Booth. She put her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulders as she has done numerous times in the past. He could smell the fresh scent of her hair as he rested his head against hers. She turned her face to look at him their lips were almost touching. He wanted to 키스 her and take her, but he did not want to rush her because she does not like to be rushed. He was looking at her face when she said. “Booth you’re 더 많이 than a partner to me. When 당신 were in that coma I thought my world had stopped, I did not know what to do to bring 당신 back. I felt alone without you. I have been alone since I was fifteen and I don’t ever want to feel like that again.”
“Bones I promise never to leave you. I will do anything for 당신 even kill, 당신 know that.”
“Booth, I know that, but I feel so empty inside like something is missing. I want to feel what other people feel when they 사랑 someone and they are loved 의해 someone.”
Booth looked at her and could not restrain himself any longer because she had to know that she is loved even if she does not 사랑 him. “Bones, 당신 are smart, talented and beautiful and I have to tell 당신 truthfully that I am hopelessly in 사랑 with you.”
“Booth, does being in 사랑 make 당신 feel light headed and giddy? Do 당신 feel that any moment apart is an eternity? When the person 당신 사랑 enters a room does your 심장 feel like it has skipped a beat?”
“Bones 당신 don’t analyze 사랑 당신 just feel it.”
“Booth, that’s how I feel about you.”
“So 당신 사랑 me.”
“Yes, Booth, if loving someone means that your whole world is that person.” When she said this, his lips touched hers in a soft and lingering kiss. He could feel her body moving against his and his desire increasing for her.
“Bones are 당신 sure as I don’t want us to rush into this.”
“Booth I am never surer about anything and I think we have waited long enough.”
He then kissed her 더 많이 firmly until her lips parted to accept his tongue. As his lips and tongue were exploring hers, she had moved her hands to undo his 벨트 and unzip his fly. He had moved his hands to her shoulders and was removing the 목욕 가운 and letting it slip to the floor. She had now moved her exploring hands to the back of his waist and was pushing his trousers down over his buttocks. As his pants fell to the floor, he stepped out of them; he lifted her up and carried her to the bed. As he laid her down, his hands moved along her waist to her panties where his hands moved inside to increase her arousal. She in turn had now removed his 셔츠 and shorts. Her mouth was exploring his bare chest while her hands moved to bring him to full peak. 의해 now both of them were fully naked and their bodies were a gleam of perspiration. At this point there was no going back, as he penetrated deep inside 본즈 emitted a low moan. Within moments they were in synchronization of movement ultimately to arrive at the crescendo together.
As they lay together exhausted, 본즈 whispered. “Booth”
“Yes, Bones.”
“I was completely irrational.”
“What do 당신 mean?” He sat up and turned to look at her thinking she is now regretting this and not really in 사랑 with him.
“I was afraid to admit that I loved 당신 because I did not know 당신 loved me, but I should have told 당신 anyway.” She then reached up and pulled his face to hers and kissed him in a way that let him know she loved him in no uncertain terms.
It did not take long before they were both intertwined with each other. At 6:00 am the phone rang to give them a wake up call but as they had never gone to sleep it was 더 많이 of a reminder that they both needed to be someplace else, but that did not stop them from holding on to each other for another ten minutes.
“Booth 당신 need to get to the airport and I need to get ready for the 텔레비전 interview.”
“Bones, do 당신 want me to stay and go to the interview with you?”
“No Booth that’s OK. I’ll see 당신 tonight, my flight is supposed to be in DC at 5:00 pm and I should get 집 의해 six.”
“I’ll pick up some Thai 음식 and be there 의해 seven.”
“Booth, don’t be late for your flight and I’ll see 당신 tonight.” She watched him as he got dressed and just before he left he kissed her goodbye. She then went into the bathroom and got ready for her interview.
Later on the flight back to DC she was thinking how nice it would be to see Booth tonight. She got 집 a little after six and quickly showered again and changed into something 더 많이 casual.
Booth arrived a few 분 before seven with the 음식 as promised. She got two beers out of the refrigerator and they quietly ate dinner. After 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 Booth asked how her interview went because he remembered her first interviews were not that great.
“Booth it was very good, I even made the audience laugh. Why I don’t know. But she did ask some odd questions.”
“Like what?”
“She asked something about a boy 또는 a girl, which I did not understand.”
“When is the interview scheduled to be shown?”
“According to them, it will be aired in ten weeks just before my book is released. They taped it in advance because I happened to be in Chicago this weekend.”
“Well 본즈 it’s getting late and 당신 must be tired.”
“You’re right Booth; it has been a long weekend. We need to get some sleep; we can clean up the 부엌, 주방 in the morning.”
Booth looked at her for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant as she walked to the bedroom.
“Booth aren’t 당신 coming to bed?”
“Yes Bones” As he put the dishes in the sink. He then fully understood that he was staying the night.
Over the weeks they would sleep always together even when Booth had Parker. Parker was glad that 본즈 was his daddy’s girlfriend because now he has his own room at her apartment and a pool. If the one had to work late, the other would wait up. Eventually they each had half their clothes in each others apartment.
About the fifth week, Angela asked Brennan if there was something going on with her.
Brennan asked. “Why?”
“You look positively radiant. Are 당신 seeing someone?”
Brennan could not lie to her best friend, so she said. “Yes.”
“Brennan what about Booth, does he know.”
“Yes he does.”
“I always thought the two of 당신 would get together. Do 당신 know if he is seeing anyone?”
“He is seeing someone.”
”Oh, is it serious for you?”
“Yes I think it is.”
Before Angela could ask any 더 많이 questions, Brennan went to her office. Angela went to go tell Cam.
“Cam, Brennan is seeing someone and so is Booth. Do 당신 know anything about it?”
“No Angela this is the first I heard, I thought Booth was in 사랑 with Dr. Brennan and now he is seeing someone and she’s OK with it?”
Angela just shrugged her shoulders and left the room.
Cam knew that Booth is usually very discreet about whom he is seeing so there is no point in asking him but if Dr. Brennan is OK with it she is not going to poke her nose around.
Later that night as 본즈 and Booth were lying in bed. She told him about what Angela asked and what she said.
“Bones, do 당신 think she suspects?”
“I don’t think so; she looked disappointed for some reason.”
“Never mind, we just have to be careful. We don’t want Sweets to find out. If Angela and Cam find out, they can keep a secret, but we don’t want them to say anything and someone over hears.”
“You’re right.” 본즈 then turned out her light and Booth wrapped his arms around her. As they settled into their 가장 좋아하는 sleeping positions, they quickly fell asleep.
Two days later there was a decaying corpse found near the Washington Monument and Brennan and Cam went to examine it. As they arrived at the scene, each of them went to exam the body. As Cam was pulling some of the clothes away to get a better look at the flesh left on the skin, Brennan was overcome 의해 the smell. It took everything in her power not to throw up. Cam noticed Brennan’s discomfort and asked if she was alright.
“Sorry, it is just the smell that got to me.” I’ll be fine after the flesh is removed.
Cam thought it odd because Dr. Brennan was never bothered 의해 the smells before. Maybe she is coming down with the flu.
The 다음 morning after Booth had left for work. 본즈 was sick to her stomach and very light headed. When she finally got in the office, she needed to throw up again. Cam came in to check on her and asked whether she had the flu and needed to go home.
“No Cam, it’s alright. I’m just a little nauseated. It usually passes 의해 noon.”
“How long has this been going on?”
“Oh, just for the last few days.”
Cam made note to watch her for the 다음 couple of days.
Brennan managed to avoid answering anymore 질문 about her boyfriend for the 다음 couple of weeks. Both she and Booth were keeping their relationship quiet.
They were both having coffee and Booth was having his usual slice of pie when Sweets joined them at their 표, 테이블 to discuss some aspect of their recent case.
As they were talking, Brennan reached over and took a bite of Booth’s pie. Sweets saw this but said nothing until she took a 초 bite.
“I see Booth has finally convinced 당신 to eat pie, Dr. Brennan.”
“No it is just that it that I wanted to try a bite to see how it tasted.” She answered as she took another bite.
“See Bones, I told 당신 you’d like it.”
Booth ordered another slice of pie while he and Sweets discussed his 프로필 on the latest case. As soon as the pie arrived, 본즈 devoured the whole slice of pie.
Booth looked at her in amazement and smiled. “Bones do 당신 want another slice?”
본즈 could not answer at first because her mouth was full of pie but she did shake her head yes.
Sweets was smiling as she consumed the third slice. He then asked her about her new book.
“Dr. Brennan isn’t your new book coming out 다음 week and isn’t your interview with Oprah on this week?”
“Yes my book is out 다음 week but I don’t know the exact 날짜 they will show the interview.” She answered.
Sweets then excused himself as he had something to discuss with Cam. Cam had asked him to come to her office because she had something to talk to him about.
“What is it that 당신 wanted?” Sweets said as he entered the office.
“Oh Dr. Sweets, have 당신 noticed anything strained between Booth and Dr. Brennan?”
“No, they seem to be their usual selves. In fact today Booth finally got Dr. Brennan to eat pie. Why do 당신 ask?”
“Well, Angela found out that Dr. Brennan is seeing someone and Booth knows about it. I am just concerned about their working relationship. 당신 said that Dr. Brennan ate pie? Was it just a bite?”
“No, she ate three slices.”
“That is not like her.” Cam said as she made another mental note. She called Angela into her office as soon as Sweets left.
“Angela I think there is something wrong with Dr. Brennan.”
“Why do 당신 think that?”
“Well she has been vomiting from the smell of a dead body which is not like her and now Sweets is telling me she has eaten three slices of pie.”
“Brennan does not like pie. Another thing, have 당신 noticed she seems to have a glow lately?”
“Angela, I am going to ask for some specimens because of some exam that needs to be done and I want 당신 to help me with this.”
“What do 당신 want me to do?”
“When I ask Dr. Brennan for hers 당신 will tell her that 당신 have already given me yours so that she does not suspect anything.”
The 다음 morning, Cam approached Dr. Brennan and said she needed some samples for a test. Dr. Brennan started to ask about the test when Angela walked in and let her know she had already done hers. She then gave the samples to Cam with no further concern.
As Cam and Angela left the room, Angela asked “How long will this test take?”
“I should have the results 의해 Monday.”
Friday night Sweets was sitting with 데이지 who had been taping Oprah all week looking for Dr. Brennan’s interview. They had finally reached the last show of the week when they saw that this was where her interview was shown. They sat there and watched and after the interview, Sweets quickly called Cam and asked her had she seen Dr. Brennan’s interview. Cam said she had missed it.
“Well can we meet at the Jeffersonian tomorrow because there is going to be some repercussions about it and I think 당신 should be prepared.”
The 다음 morning Sweets was in Cam’s office showing her the tape. Cam sat there watching and after it was over she looked at Sweets. She asked him.
“Did I just hear right. Did she say she is having a baby?”
데이지 who was with Sweets chimed in saying in her squeal little voice. “Don’t 당신 think that’s wonderful?”
Cam just looked at her. She then picked up the phone to call Angela and asked her to come in to see this tape.
Angela showed up with Hodgins and they both sat there and looked at the tape. Angela just had her mouth open and Hodgins had a grin on his face.
Cam looked at everyone in the room and asked what they all thought.
Hodgins was the first to answer when he said. “I think we are all going to be aunts and uncles.”
Angela gave him a look and said. “You all know how Brennan talks she may not have meant she is really pregnant but is only planning on having a kid someday.”
Cam responded. “What about the other comment?”
Sweets finally said. “What we need is both Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth to see this tape and get an explanation. I suggest that I call them and ask them both to come over here tomorrow so that we can be prepared for any problems that may come up.”
Everyone agreed and as they all left the office, Angela hung back to ask Cam.
“Are 당신 testing to see if she is pregnant?”
“Yes because if she is then she will have to let Booth know and that could put 더 많이 of a strain on their working relationship.”
That night Sweets called Booth and asked him to come into the office because he needed to alert him about a certain matter. He then called Dr. Brennan and asked her as well. What Sweets did not know is that they were both in Booth’s apartment relaxing after a long week. They looked at each other and discussed what could Sweets be concerned about.
“Booth 당신 don’t think he knows about us, do you?”
“Bones, I don’t care if he does because I will always be with 당신 no matter what happens.”
“Booth, have I told 당신 I 사랑 당신 today.” She said as she put her arms around his neck and kissed him seductively.
He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up while they were still 키싱 and carried her to the bedroom.
The 다음 morning they arrived at the Jeffersonian and went to Cam’s office where Sweets had asked them to meet him. Cam and Sweets were already there.
Shortly after they arrived, Angela and Hodgins joined the group.
Cam was the one who asked first. “Dr. Brennan have 당신 seen your interview on Oprah?”
“No, I did not know when they were going to show it. It was supposed to have been this week sometime.”
“Well there were some statements made and some 답변 that were a little unusual.” Sweets stated.
“Like what? I thought I answered the 질문 accurately, but it has been over ten weeks since the interview.” 본즈 responded.
“I think the best thing is to show the interview so Dr. Brennan can hear the entire interview and what was shown on television.” Cam said.
They all took a 좌석 around the screen to view the interview. 본즈 sat on the sofa 다음 to Booth with everyone else either sitting on a chair 또는 just standing as the show played.”
They watched as the show opened and Oprah came out to say.
“My 다음 guest is the leading forensic anthropologist in the country and a famous mystery writer. She has been involved in solving many unusual murder cases over the years along with her husband Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI, who she refers to as her partner. Please welcome Dr. Temperance Brennan.”
Applause as Brennan walks on stage and sits down 다음 to Oprah, who begins the interview.
“I understand Dr. Brennan that 당신 helped solve a fifteen 년 old murder in two days while visiting for your class reunion.”
“Yes I had come here to visit with one of my teachers and with the help of my partner, we figured out who the killer was.”
“Your partner being Agent Booth was here with 당신 at your reunion?”
“Yes.” Long pause.
“You also have a new book coming out 다음 week. This book was very intriguing and suspenseful. I have given a copy to every person in the audience today.” Applause
“I recommend everyone should go out a get a copy who likes a good murder mystery. Tell me Dr. Brennan do 당신 have anything in the works right now.”
“I usually try to write only one book at a time.” There was another long pause before the 다음 question.
“I recall one of your first interviews where 당신 had said that 당신 were never going to have any children, has that changed?”
“Yes I am going to have a baby.”
Applause
“Does your partner know?”
“Of course, he was there at conception.”
Laughter comes from the audience.
“Is it a boy 또는 a girl?”
“Yes.”
“Now, we know 당신 why you’re a great mystery writer. Thank 당신 very much for coming today and we need to break for a commercial.” After the commercial break Oprah said.
“I want to thank Dr. Brennan for letting us in on her 다음 project, with her partner. She left us with a mystery to solve and I believe we should all ask the FBI to find out if it is a boy 또는 a girl. What do 당신 think audience?”
Applause
Everyone looked at Brennan except Booth who just leaning back on the 침상, 소파 with his head back looking at the ceiling. He knew he should never leave 본즈 alone for an interview. It is the way she 답변 질문 directly that people get the wrong interpretations.
“What about the statement she made in the beginning that Booth is your husband?” Sweets asked. .
“It may have been because Booth and she were undercover as husband and wife at the reunion to catch a killer that is why Oprah got that idea.” Hodgins said.
“Then why did 당신 not correct her when 당신 came on stage?” Cam asked.
Brennan explained that she was just coming out of the waiting room to come on stage and did not hear the full introduction; she only heard her name being announced as she walked on stage.
“All right we can explain that but what about what 당신 said about going to have a baby?” Cam questioned.
“You all know that I have decided to have a baby someday. I was just saying that I am going future tense not actually having one. What was wrong with that?”
Booth explained to Bones. “It sounded to most people as if 당신 were already having a baby and not just planning one in the future.”
“Oh.” Brennan uttered.
Angela asked. “What about the conception statement?”
Everyone was waiting for this answer even Booth.
“Sweets 당신 remember I conceived the idea of a baby in your office and Booth was there. I don’t see what the problem is.”
Booth again explains to Bones. The audience thought she meant the other definition of conception.
“Is that why she asked me if it was a boy 또는 a girl?”
“Yes, Bones.” Booth answered.
“Is that why 당신 said yes to that question?” Angela asked.
“A baby can only be a boy 또는 a girl.” Brennan responded.
“Did 당신 get to hear what was said after the commercial break? Because what if someone actually asks the FBI to find out if it is a boy 또는 a girl.” Hodgins said.
Brennan let them all know that while they cut the taping for the commercial break, Brennan had left the studio to catch her plane back to DC and did not hear what Oprah had said to the audience after the break.
“So 당신 are not pregnant, Sweetie.” Angela sighed.
“Angela there is no way I could have been pregnant when I did that interview. 당신 know that I have not had sex in quite some time before the reunion.” Brennan said in a matter of fact way.
“Then 당신 have had sex since then.” Angela said looking at her closely.
“Well yes.”
“When was the last time 당신 had sex?” Angela asked.
Booth interrupted 의해 saying. “I don’t think we need to know the answer.”
“That’s all right Booth. I had very satisfying sex this morning, if 당신 need to know.” 본즈 answered
Booth just rolled his head and thought we don’t need to go into details here.
Sweets saw Booth roll his head and asked. “Does it bother 당신 that Dr. Brennan is having sex with someone?”
“No, not at all I’m happy she enjoyed it this morning.” Booth answered with a sly smile.
“I enjoyed it last night too Booth.” 본즈 added with a grin.
Cam noticed it first and she looked at Angela to see if she saw it too. Angela nodded at Cam and nudged Hodgins. Hodgins looked at Angela to see why she poked him and when Angela tilted her head toward Booth and Brennan he got the message.
“Well as long as there are no problems between 당신 two. We all know that there was some confusion about the 질문 and 답변 that can be easily explained. So we’ll just leave it alone for now.” Sweets, had turned to leave the room and had missed all of the looks.
As Booth and Brennan got ready to leave the room, Cam said. “Hold it 당신 two; 당신 are not getting away that easily.”
“What is it Cam?” Booth asked.
“You know what it is, big guy.”
“Come on Sweetie, we figured it out. 당신 are not going out with anyone other than Booth. And Booth 당신 don’t have any other girlfriend other than Brennan. Admit it. Our lips are sealed.”
Booth and 본즈 looked at each other before they answered together. “You’re right, but don’t let Sweets know.”
“When did 당신 finally realize that Booth was the one for you, Sweetie?”
“Angela it was on the last night of the reunion when he stayed to help me face those women.”
Hodgins gave Booth a slap on his back and said. “Congratulations, your secret is 안전한, 안전 with me.”
“Dr. Brennan I have to confess that I did think 당신 were pregnant and that is why I needed the specimen. I hope 당신 understand.” Cam said.
“Sweetie I also thought so too. Especially when it looked like 당신 had morning sickness and weird cravings for pie.” Angela added.
Brennan asked. “I’m sure the test showed negative. I do understand. 당신 did it because 당신 had concerns.”
“I haven’t looked at the results yet, they are on my desk.” Cam answered as she walked to her desk.
Cam looked at the test results; she showed it to Angela and Hodgins. Hodgins could not hold back when he uttered. “Agent Booth I don’t think your secret will be 안전한, 안전 for long.”
Brennan quickly went to the 책상, 데스크 to look at the results and said. “This can’t be right.”
“Bones what does it show?”
“Booth it shows that I am knocked over.”
“Bones, that is knocked up and how did this happen?”
Everyone looked at Booth and did not say anything until Hodgins quipped. “Do I need to explain the birds and the bees to you?”
Angela was the first to ask the all important question. “Sweetie, the test could be wrong. When did 당신 have your last cycle?”
Brennan thought for a moment and answered. “I remember exactly. It was two weeks before the class reunion.”
“That was over twelve weeks ago. I think 당신 are a little late and the test is a lot correct.” Cam added.
She went on to say. “What we need now is a way to keep this quiet until the right time.”
Booth meanwhile had pulled Brennan close to him and was telling her how beautiful she looked and that she is going to make a great mother.
“Dr. Brennan I will get the vitamins 당신 should be taking, Angela will keep an eye out for 당신 because pretty soon, 당신 will get hormonal as your body changes. Hodgins 당신 will keep an ear out if anyone asks about her.” Cam said to them.
“What do 당신 want me to do, Cam?” Booth asked.
“You’ve done enough already.” She retorted, but then she recanted and said. “Watch her in the field don’t let her over do it especially for the 다음 couple of months.”
“Cam, do 당신 think anything will result from that interview.” 본즈 asked.
“Let’s hope not.” Cam answered.
A few days later, Booth was watching 본즈 in the 샤워 when he noticed that she no longer had a flat stomach but she now had a little bump. He could not help himself from putting his hand over it and giving her a gentle hug.
It was a little over three weeks later, when Booth was summoned to the conference room 의해 Director Jenkins, the head of the FBI. In addition there was Caroline, the FBI lawyer, Sweets, Cam, Dr. Banbridge, head of the Jeffersonian, and Bones.
Director Jenkins started the meeting off with 의해 saying. “It has come to the attention of this department that Agent Booth and his partner Dr. Brennan have been secretly married and are now expecting a child. It is the policy of this agency that partners cannot be married to each other. Agent Booth what do 당신 have to say?”
“Dr. Brennan and I are not married.” Booth answered.
“It was announced on Oprah.” Director Jenkins shot back.
“It was incorrect information.” Sweets interjected and he then explained the misconception.
“Well if they are not really married perhaps someone could explain why we have received over thirty copies of marriage licenses showing their marriage. The agency has received the copies from small little towns all over New England and one was from Las Vegas, Nevada.” Director Jenkins stated.
“It sounds like these licenses are from people who want to take credit for the marriage and are all phony.” Caroline offered.
“I don’t believe one has to be married to prove one’s commitment.” 본즈 added.
“What about the other questions?” Director Jenkins asked.
Sweets went on to explain about how Dr. Brennan answered the other 질문 and how the 답변 were misunderstood.
“Do 당신 two know how many emails and phone calls this agency has received in the past three weeks asking if it is a boy 또는 a girl? In addition, the mail department has been flooded with letters and baby gifts.
Dr. Banbridge and I have decided that we are going to 스플릿, 분할 up your partnership. Dr. Brennan 당신 will be assigned a new partner and Agent Booth 당신 will work alone for now.” Director Jenkins said.
“I will not work with any other FBI agent. I will only work with Booth.” 본즈 said emphatically.
“Dr. Brennan, as head of the Jeffersonian, it is up to me when 당신 are assigned to the FBI and Director Jenkins will decide who 당신 will be assigned to. 당신 have no choice in the matter.” Dr. Banbridge insisted.
“Then I will no longer work for the Jeffersonian. It is stated in my contract that if and when I decide I can terminate my association with the Jeffersonian. As 당신 are aware I am far greater contribution to the prestige of the institution than 당신 are.”
“Dr. Brennan are 당신 threatening to quit?” Dr. Banbridge uttered
“No I am stating a fact.”
At that moment a clerk entered the room and informed Director Jenkins that he needed to see the latest copy of People magazine. He handed him a copy and placed additional copies on the 표, 테이블 for the others to look at.
On the cover there was a mention of couples who work together for the public benefit with the names of Bill and Melinda Gates, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth listed. Inside the 기사 showed how each of the couples was benefiting the public. Bill and Melinda Gates with their foundation for scholarships, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for their world causes and how Dr Brennan with her husband Agent Seeley Booth work together is solving unusual and bizarre murders not only in DC but around the country and abroad. The 기사 goes on to show their pictures at a crime scene. It is also mentioned that it is admirable that the FBI allows them to work together as the unique team that they are.
Director Jenkins was the first to 코멘트 on the new problem. “Agent Booth whether the two of 당신 are married 또는 not, it is the public opinion that 당신 are, the problem is that agents who are partners are not allowed to be married to each other and this could be a potential problem in the bureau.”
“Hold it a minute, the regulation is that only agents working for the FBI cannot be married partners but Dr. Brennan officially works for the Jeffersonian and is only a consultant and not an agent. So we have a loophole 의해 which these two can continue to work together married 또는 not.” Caroline interceded.
“Point taken, so that means Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth can still work together and we can try to forget this mess.” Dr. Banbridge said with a note of relief in his voice.
At that moment, 본즈 got out of her chair and removed her smock which had been covering the baby bump.
“Dr. Brennan, is that….are you…?” Sweets stammered. Caroline, Dr Banbridge and Director Jenkins just looked. Cam had a little grin.
“If 당신 are asking if I have a roll in the stove then the answer is yes.”
Bones, it is a bun in the oven.” Booth corrected.
“Dr. Brennan so now 당신 are pregnant but not when 당신 were interviewed is that correct but 당신 were pregnant when the interviewed aired?” Director Jenkins inquired.
“Yes.” 본즈 answered.
“So now the bureau is back to addressing the mystery of whether it’s a boy 또는 a girl.” Director Jenkins quipped.
“I have a question. Dr. Brennan we need to have the name of your baby’s father because everyone is going to presume that it is Agent Booth.” Sweets asked.
“Sweets I am the father and there is no 질문 about it.” Booth proclaimed.
“Back to the answer if it is a boy 또는 a girl.” Director Jenkins reiterated.
Cam explained. “It is too early to tell yet. The best answer right now is the one that Dr. Brennan gave in the interview which is yes to all those emails.”
“Well then when is the baby due?” Dr. Banbridge asked.
“I am due in five 더 많이 months and then we will know if it is a girl 또는 a boy.” Brennan announced.
Over the 다음 three months, Brennan was enjoying the thought of motherhood. She and Booth worked on preparing the nursery and they finally settled into just one apartment.
Brennan was having her seven 월 exam when her doctor asked about doing an ultrasound. The doctor did not want to alarm Dr. Brennan but there was something funny about the baby’s heartbeat.
Booth was with 본즈 as the doctor was doing the ultrasound exam. The doctor asked about if they wanted to know if it is a boy 또는 a girl as she started the exam. As the doctor continued to view the screen, both Booth and 본즈 were anxious for the results. Finally the doctor turned to them and said. “Well we can’t tell the sex yet, because of the position of the babies.”
Booth was the first to react. “Babies, 당신 mean there is 더 많이 than one?”
“Yes, it looks like twins.”
본즈 finally inquired. “Do they look all right?”
“The 아기 are both fine.” The doctor responded.
Over the 다음 two months, as 본즈 was getting closer to her due 날짜 everyone was keeping an eye open for the first signs of labor. Even at the FBI there was a betting pool going on as to when and whether it is two boys, two girls 또는 one of each.
As luck would have it, Brennan and Booth were interrogating a suspect when the first pain struck. 본즈 had grabbed Booth’s arm and was trying get through with the questioning but Booth would have none of that. He was 더 많이 concerned about the woman he loved and his unborn 아기 then the person in the room. He quickly took her out of the room, sat her on a chair in the hall until the contraction passed. He quickly handed the suspects file to Charlie, another agent, and said he needed to take Dr. Brennan to the hospital. As Booth left the building with Bones, Charlie let the man running the betting pool know and he also called Cam at the Jeffersonian.
Throughout the afternoon and night while 본즈 was in labor, Booth never leaves her side. Early the 다음 morning 본즈 was delivered two healthy babies. She is taken to her room where she falls asleep exhausted. Booth finally has a chance to go 집 and change quickly. He wants to be back at the hospital when 본즈 wakes up.
Booth was sitting in the hospital room watching 본즈 sleep when the nurse brings in the babies. The nurse gently wakes up Brennan and hands her the first baby. She then hands the 초 one to Booth. At that moment, Cam, Angela, Hodgins and Sweets enter the room. They ask the most important 질문 of all. What are their names? Booth who is looking at the tiny little person in his arms looks up at Brennan and says. “Her name is Christine Brennan Booth after Bones’ mother.” And Brennan looking at Booth says “His name is going to be Henry Joseph Booth and Booth will call him Hank after his grandfather. To me he is going to be my little Angel.
